Should be a good game tonight. I reckon the return of Toby will ignite the Giants and bring St Kilda back down to earth. The sainters have been getting a bit ahead of themselves

    Have picked The Aints tonight, but who knows which way it could go. 
    If Tobius is involved early GW$ could decide to play

    A few 'season defining' games coming up this round. 

    Geelong and Brisbane with the easy wins coming up is annoying.

    Fremantle v Carlton seems the most interesting match of the round, Freo should be too good over there.

    Tipping that umpire disrespect will kick the most goals this week.

    @Sir Why You Little, do you recall an Ess/filth  Anzac Day clash some years ago  when 2 players went down, I think in the first quarter, with serious knee injuries?

    Like the Giants tonight. They were pretty competitive for fair chunks of last week.

    Saints are being written up as a possible flag winner. GWS massively underperforming.

    Pity that Hogan is out. Adds a little more interest to the game. Of course there is Preuss who I don't think I've seen since he played for Casey.

    If GWS kick straight (ratio of around 80%) they might surprise.

    Hopefully we're not switiching to netflix by half time

    Think Saints should get up, they are up and about GWS aren’t.

    Dogs, Port, Freo, Lions, us (despite mfcss), Swans & Filth in the battle of the WGAF.

    The young ruckman, Flynn, that played for GWS last week was very good. Played better than Preuss ever has. If it was my choice i'd play Flynn again

    I remember watching Flynn in his first game. ( Has he been out injured? )

    He will be a gun player.

    The Giants all walk taller with Toby in the team (no pun intended)  He doesn't drop his head or give up and that sends a message to his team mates.  Plays for keeps.  

    He's a bit of a product from a bygone era but there is no denying he captures an audience  But can he not cross the line? Does he need that edge to his game in order to be at his best?  In my view, probably

    The game should be a good start to the long weekend of footy ... the 4 FTA games should all get a big TV audience

    Our game is quickly becoming a standout blockbuster (as long as the crowds are maintained), the ANZAC day game always has a great atmosphere and the Freo/Blues game on Saturday evening might answer a few questions

    I’m giving GWS a massive chance. Greene completely changes their side. 
    I still don’t rate St Kilda.

    He will probably give away a few 50 m ps with aggro at umps.

    This round always makes me sad about lost loves and proud to be an Australian.

    I'm sure we all share sympathy for Ukraine. How much they would like to stop the death and destruction and enjoy a simple game of sports.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
